I explore how material things and immaterial forces interact.
I do this in a holistic way that integrates my studio practice and my life - waking and dreaming, banal and spiritual. Each project is expressed with specific mediums and processes, depending on the line of inquiry or possibilities for expression, but I am consistently drawn to materiality. In a world suffocating with useless objects, I believe that by mindfully contemplating the nature of matter and its interactions, we might find deeper ways to connect the natural and constructed world.
I am interested in breaking down object-oriented ontologies by exploring systems, which I see as webs of sensual and meaningful activity, and the beginning of consciousness. I believe that collections of matter can “speak” through arrangement, balance and context. They help me trace self-hood back to the chemical and structural interactions that produce a body, or -on a deeper level- our presence.
I was born and raised in New York City, studied philosophy and architecture in college, and have crossed the continent by car or train at least 6 times. I have attended residencies at the VT studio center, ACRE, This Will Take Time, SomoS, and BoxoPROJECTS, among others, and have shown my work across the US and in Europe, at AA|LA, BUOY, Space Gallery, Roman Susan, the Lust Gallery, 2C, and the Bronx Museum, among others. I teach at Skidmore College, am a member of 7 Count, and currently live and work.
